I've had it with SP!

It'd be preventative umpiring, in my opinion - especially in crap SP. And fwiw, I've stopped working (for now) that game as well, because I'm in a frame of mind where I just can't stand it right now (and couldn't stand it at the end of last year) - both from a who-my-crap-partner's-going-to-be-tonight perspective, and also (and mainly) from a I-don't-want-to-deal-with-these-weekend-warriors'-crap-anymore-for-any-amount-of-money point of view.

It sounds like you do probably need to get away from the games for awhile. I'm not to sure I agree with your preventive umpiring "time" call in that sich...just let it play out, call the 3rd out for coach interference if thats what happened...and move on. Toss any who complain too much. Dont take it personal, just rule and keep going....
